BCS ATHLETICS
EXPECTATIONS OF THE THE BCS ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT
WELCOME
At Briarcrest, athletics is considered an integral part of the school’s program of education that provide experiences that helps student-athletes physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. We support a program that promotes a healthy level of competition while exhibiting honor and great sportsmanship. Students are encouraged to win and excel, but the principles of good sportsmanship always prevail to enhance the learning opportunities of athletics.
We feel athletic competition can help one learn how to glorify God effectively in all areas of life. The Bible directs in how to represent Jesus in all aspects of life. Although the Bible doesn’t apply God’s work specifically to athletics, it is filled with principles that do apply to athletics. Coaches, athletes and parents have a responsibility to do their best in representing Jesus by preparing mentally and spiritually for what God calls them to do.
By following these guidelines and expectations, our Briarcrest Christian School student-athletes, parents and coaches will be given the best chance to experience the growth outlined in our Athletic Department mission statement.
If you have questions about the expectations, please talk to your student’s coach or call the Athletic Director at (901) 356-2121.
Thank you for partnering with us to make your student’s experi- ence through sports a positive one.
Sincerely,
Matt Saunders
Athletic Director
